My question to you is what is the best deal you've ever gotten buying miniatures. I just got a steal of a deal (making the deal tomorrow) but am super excited. I was just wondering if anyone else had any experiences like this. So I post on a yahoo group that's a local GW group for Calgary (the city where I live) and someone came online this morning posting about some gw stuff for sale. I was shocked at the price since all the dark elf stuff was only 50 dollars while the orc and empire/brettonia stuff was 50 dollars as well. So tomorrow, when I go to play my weekly games of warhammer (at a local store). this fine fellow is meeting me there and selling me all these goodies for $100 cnd. (He's also selling various 40k/bfg stuff to other gamers that I play with on the weekends). Essentially a rough breakdown for it is as follows. 10- dark elf riders manticore chariot 4 cold ones with command blister sorcoress on cold one bolt thrower 2 boxes DE warriors extra bits special wizard on mount (Warhammer starting box contents) 35 Orc Warriors 1 orc warboss on boar 1 orc chariot 38 Empire Soldiers 1 empire General on Warhourse 1 Great Cannon Rulebook1 2 boxes empire knightly orders Lance of brettonian knights box of orc warriors box of slaanesh daemonettes 40 chaos space marines |

I just got everything and I must say wow some of the paint jobs are really good like on the manticore, also I might need a hand identifying a few things since I don't know what is what. I'll get more picture later (i have to help a friend move today) but here's a sneak peak at the manticore (i'll take better pictures later). Not all of the mini's are painted some are half done but there a good chunk of them that are. I think I'm going to stick with the colors he used on the dark elves it looks really good. without further adu

Scott, that is a fantastic deal you got there. I can't help but feel a little bit jealous. I once bought some dwarf stuff on ebay for $40, then resold half of it (I kept a unit of warriors, two bolt throwers, and a grudge thrower) for $56. I figure that was me scoring a pretty good deal. |

Nice pull there Scott!! My best one was when I got the 40K Rulebook, scenery, 15,00pt Eldar list (including an Avatar, Wraithlords, Vipers and the lot) all for just $20 Canadian; the whole thing was probebly a lot closer to $200 if not more... |

I added things up last night based upon the current prices on the canadian GW online store. It came out to $999. Plus there were things I didn't even count, like 2 files the 6th edition rulebook, bits and pieces, Some parts from the witch king dragon box (everything but the dragons legs ears head and body) (so like the witch king the wings and the hands and the saddle, the wings by themselves were priced at $20 cnd too). Looking over it today, I realized the paint jobs were really good, the only thing I didn't like the look of was the orc archer boys, but they are pretty useless so I'll leave them as they are. |
